Eric Burdon & The Animals
River Deep, Mountain High
[Verse 1]
When you were a young girl, did you have a rag doll?
The only doll you ever owned
Well, you can treat me the way you used to treat that rag doll
But hurry up 'cause I'm gettin' old

[Pre-Chorus]
And I get older, baby, day by day
And it gets stronger, baby, let me say
And it goes deeper, baby
Than you'll ever know
Stand back, baby, and watch my love grow

[Chorus]
And do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you, would I cry?
Bet your life, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby

[Verse 2]
When you were a young girl, did you have a puppet
That always followed you around
Well you can treat me the way you used to treat that puppet, baby
I swear, I'll never put you down, no I won't
[Pre-Chorus]
And I get thankful, baby, in every way
And it gets less painful, baby, let me say
And I'm gonna love you every night and day
Look out, baby, my love way is comin' your way, yes it is

[Chorus]
And do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high
And if I lost you, would I cry?
Bet your life, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby

[Verse 3]
I love you, baby, like a flower needs the spring
I love you, baby, like Aretha Franklin needs to sing
And I love you, baby like a schoolboy loves his partner
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
I'm gonna take it higher (Higher)
Take it higher (Higher)
I'll take ya higher (Higher)
Get you up there (Higher)
Get it on with me, baby (Higher)
Give it to me, babe (Higher)
Oh I need it, so good (Higher)
Give it all, baby (higher)
Give it all, baby (higher)
Aah (Higher)
Aah, give it all (Higher)
Give it all (Higher)
Woo, give it all
[Break]

Mmm, baby, if you have not seen Tina Turner

[Verse 4]
When you were a young girl, did you have a puppet
That always followed you around (Ow, ow, ow)
If you ever left that puppet, baby
I swear I'll never, never, never put you down
No, I'll never put you down

[Pre-Chorus]
And it gets stronger, baby, every day, yeah
And it goes deeper, baby, let me say, yes it does
And I'm gonna love you every night and day, yes I am, yes I—
Look out, baby, my love way is comin' your way, yeah

[Chorus]
And do I love you, my oh my
The river is deep and the mountain's way too high
And if I lost you, would I cry?
Give it to me, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
